An Approach Towards Development Of Sustainable Concrete Paving Blocks Using Construction And Demolition Waste
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Construction Industry is second largest industry in India. When a structure is demolished, the Construction and demolition (C&D) waste generates large amount of solid waste in urban areas causing harmful effect on the surrounding environment. The study aims towards development of sustainable paving blocks using C&D waste for different proportions of recycled fine aggregates to find the best combination for getting desired properties. In this study C&D waste was used in the casting of concrete paving blocks by replacing it with fine aggregates in proportions of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% & 80%. The compressive strength of paving blocks was evaluated. The results showed that more strength is achieved between the range of 40% to 60% replacement of fine aggregate with C&D waste fine aggregate and maximum compressive strength is obtained with 50% replacement, saving 25% of total cost of fine aggregate. This substantially reduces the adverse effect on environment.
